I Great credit is due to Mr. Peel for having turned his attention to the consolidation of our Criminal Laws ; it is a task of great labour, but it, is one which, if effectively executed, will en title him to live in the grateful remembrance of posterity. Centuries ago the great Lord Bacon said, addressing himself to his Sovereign, " your people are so ensnared in a multitude of Penal Laws, that the execution of them cannot be borne." This great .Tudge complained of the excessive accumulation of the Statutes in his day, and yet they were then comprised in two vo lumes! The mere enumeration of the offences to Which our penal enactments relate would at pre •sent occupy more space. To extricate them from the confusion in which they now lie dispersed, and to reduce them, not only into a reasonable compass, but into a rational order, is a labour from which a mind of ordinary strength would shrink with dismay. But great, however, as this service of arrangement will be, there is a task of not less difficulty, but of infinitely greater Import ance still behind, the revision of the Criminal Laws themselves, the imperfection of which have long been a subject of complaint by all our leading lawyers, statesmen, and moralists, who have made our system of Penal Legislation the subject of public comment. Blackstone, after remarking strongly on the defects of our Criminal Code, goes on to say," these have chiefly arisen from too scrupulous an adherence to some rules of the ancient Common Law, when the reasons have ceased upon which those laws were founded." When we consider how much the security of pro perty depends upon the perfection of this branch of our laws, it is manifestly of the utmost comie quence, not only that they should be methodized, but that they should receive that amendment which they so essentially require, and which the welfare of the community has long► and so ur gently called for. We trust it is Mr. Peel's in tention to submit them to this philosophic sur .vey. The task cannot be entrusted to better hands. rill': TIMES.] In the paper pre,ented to Par and en- titled '' Civil Contingencies, we find, among many cuiloui articles, the following charge for the year 18'25, viz.—" Commission for inquiring " into the state of his Majesty's settlements, the " Cape of Good Hope, Ceylon, and Mauritius, on account of salary and contingent expences, ".and including 1,0001. outfit to Commissioner " Blair, 13,6481. ls. 10d."—What a sum is here! --and for what ? We should like to know if the public have received any value for the above ex penditure of near 14,0001.? The Commissioners, among other things, were appointed for the pur. pose of inquiring into, and reporting on, abuses committed at the Cape ; and of checking, if it had been po.sible, the proceedings of Lord Charles Somerset. The proof that they had performed the first part of their duty would have been an official statement of what they saw and ascer tained iu the shape of public abuse ; and the 'best evidence of their activity in the second branch of it', would have been the reformation of the Governor, or his recall to England. Now we lament to say, that in neither division of the im portant duty intrusted to them, do these well paid Commissioners of Inquiry appear to have rained or deserved their emoluments. They have not—(at least Parliament and the public know nothing of o—they have not transmitted a single report to Etlghtid ; all the intelligence which exists respecting the alleged malpractices of the Colonial Governor and his dependents being de rived front private letters, echoing the general voice of the colonists, and heaping one reproach upon anoilier against the obnoxious person who chnrged . with having oppressed and trampled eni his fellow-subjects. So long as his Lordship - shall hold his government, it must be presumed thet the inquiry has been conducted in. a manner calculated to favour and support him ; and thus that, instead of making a pecuniary effort to get ,rid-of at grievance universally exclaimed against, •tbe - public has, In addition to his enormous salary, paid It squad of Commissioners makty thousand pounds to. keep Lord Charles Somerset in office! [r4 u'tv TIMES., The folinwing,of time tilt. 1 7th instant, is from a Dutch Correspondent :---The steam-bout will resume her station to•morrow week, and sail re gularly from Rotterdam every Wednesday ; and early in April We shall have the communication opened twice a week by steam. The States Cott• rant, of yesterday, contained official accounts of the military operations in Java, to the V2th of October ; but their interest must be superseded 'by arrivals on your side, of vessels with later ac counts. From the official accounts, as published , . here, it is however ►lain that a harassing and pro. tracted warfare is carrying on aping the Dutch, and that the safety of the colony will continue to cost the Mother Country dear. The legi,dative measure necessary to authorise the Government to contract the lOati required for Java, has het•n got through ; and some cariosity is now excited to know ~ what steps will be taken to raise the 'money, in the present unfavourabie juncture. The Royal Trading Company's bonds are 1% to 14 per cent. lower than other descriptions of Stock, which Os 41. per cent. interest is guarani. teed to them by Government, opens a field for comment. Money is scarce here, us well at in other places, at present; but, neverthe less, the crisis in the commercial world ha 4 led to no great disasters here. The general re. Striction or credit has led to some sacrifices of goods, anti about eight thousand 'bags of co ee have, within these few days; been sold for ready m oney, at the low rates of 6 to , fif ativers• The article must, it is supposed, remain depressed, for arrivals continue to take p lace:--, TiOtaytian subkidy is to be paid in coffee, and the iinual export from the Havannah is enormously 14 ereasing, besides which, the commercial' and financial distress of Germany is very great, and tile means of the consumers of the articles ,are thus reduced-700 hogsheads of Surinam sugars were sold on Saturday at Of or 9 groots, a less de pressed rate than might have been expected. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] When a man in the situation of Mr. Peel is actuated by a sincere desire of promoting the public good, and his intentions are not paralysed by lack of talents or application, we cannot over estimate the advantage which the nation derives from him. A Minister is like a light set on a hill, the eyes of all are fixed on him,and when it happens that the ambition of a Minister takes a useful direction, those truths which might for genera tions have received no beneficial application, at once strike deep root in the national mind. We have no hesitation in acknowledging, that were his labours to stop with his speech of Thursday night, he has already conferred an invaluable bene fit on the country. Willingly do we pardon the am bition to fill the office, when it has for object to asso ciate his name with the permanent improvement of his country. We have seldom heard a speech on a subject embracing so many particulars, to which so little in the way of objection can he urged. Its characteristic is good sense, and ex emption from prejudice. It not unfrequently happens to Reformers that they run into the Op posite extreme of the evil which they wish to re medy ; but it would be difficult to find any poi.- tion of Mr. Peel's speech of which it could be said that it betrayed a zeal without judgment.— lie Is the very man to carry through an exten sive judicial reform, because he steps with such caution that he can hardly ever be driven from his ground. As he advances he will naturally become more confident, and the public, in return, will be more disposed to repose confidence in him. Mr. Peel accounted very well for the very defective state of our Legislature. The great business in Parlia ment has been, not legislation, but party strife, or the criticism of the measures of Administration. lii fact, there are but few Members of a popular Legislature, like ours, who can be supposed equal to the business of Legislation ; and we can not help thinking it not a little wonderful that the sense of its own unfitness should not have in duced Parliament, Jong ago, to have appointed a permanent qualified Counsellor, subject to its controul, to report on all laws, previously to their being submitted. In other States, the Govern ments being free from internal struggles, were enabled to bestow more care on Legislation; and hence, as was very truly observed by Mr. Peel, there were very few States which were not more advanced in this matter than ourselves. [THE REPRESENTATIVE.] It is a circumstance which will, we are sure, he hailed with the greatest satisfaction among the Irish peasantry, that their destitute and wretched condition has at length attracted the attention of those who have discrimination enough to point out the evils under which they labour, and sagacity enough to suggest a remedy. Of this we cannot adduce stronger evidence than that which is con tained in a speech made upon this subject by the Earl of Darnley on Thursday night. his noble and enlightened Peer, as most of our Readers must be aware, is intimately connected with Ire land. lie is, in fact, the owner of 30,000 acres of the land on which about 20,000 of the seven millions are fed. lie stated that, 46 without any fear of contradiction, he could assert the condi tion of the slave in the West Indies to be by no means so bad as the condition of the I peasant in the West of Ireland."—We take I it for granted, that the Noble Peer to whore! we have alluded, is one of the few Irish proprie tors who constantly reside upon their estates,who are indefatigable in promoting the improvement of their own property,while they humanely adopt every means of ameliorating the condition of their tenantry ; he is, we take it for granted, one of the few landlords who can speak of the Irish peasantry from personal experience, and does not depend for his information upon the re ports of agents and factors. And when his Lord ship de.cribea the condition of the Irish pea sant as infinitely more wretched than the state of the West India slave, his description is applicable, not, we presume, to his own te nantry, hut to the tenants of less considerate land-owners, who have deserted their estates. We shall not, therefore, dispute with his Lordship about the fact : livingly constantly in Ireland, he has seen with his own eyes, the condition of the peasantry; and we cannot impugn a statement advanced upon such authority. But, admitting the evil to be as grievous and extensive as his Lordship represents, we were rather surprised when he proceeded to recommend Catholic Eman cipation as the panacea which alone can remove the grievances of the Wish peasantry. Catholic Emancipation may place Lord Killeen in the House of Commons, and substitute silk for the stuff which now covers the learned backs of Messrs. O'Connell and Shiel ; but how this measure can employ, feed, or clothe the " seven millions," is, we ac knowledge, a mystery which we cannot fathom. We cannot comprehend the connexion between the evil and the means by which it is to be remedied. If lie had said, " I recommend other Irish proprietors to follow my exem pi e , live among their tenants, employ them as domes. tics, and artisans, and labourers, and thus sup. ply them with food and clothing," we could have followed the chain of his reasoning; we could have perceived, or, at least, imagined that we perceived, a connexion between the effect an ticipated and the cause which is expected to produce it," 44 all that Mr. Macculloch can say to t:ie contrary notwithstanding." We shall, however, be guilty neither of the incivility nor disrespect of saying that his Lordship must be mistaken. We shall content ourselves, at pre. sent, with observing, that if concession of a seat in the House of Commons to my Lord Killeen, and if a silk gown to the Dublin Counsellors, should allay the hunger or clothe the nakedness of the 44 peasantry," this most extraordinary effect can arise from such a cause in that country alone, in which, it is said, guns may be found capable of shooti ng roun d a corner. [MOII/4ING Iit:BALD.) We have noticed of rote's failing off in the number of bankruptcies. W O are g.t'ad of this decrease. Some time since we stated that the reason why the bankruptcies had increased, was that the law had been altered, insomuch that a man by merely declaring himself insolvent, in the Gazelle, committed an act of bankruptcy, on which a commission would issue. We stated also our opinion that the alteration would prove beneficial, but that for some time to come it would cause a great increase of the number of bankrupts. Formerly a great proportion of cases of insolvency were hushed up, and the parties returned to trade again without its being ever known that any thing ever happened to them. We added that the reason of this was, that it was deemed a crime in law for a man to become a bankrupt. Therefore, when a man went to an attorney stating his unfortunate situation, and asking what he should do to get relief, the attorney (provided he was a respectable one) would tell him on no account to commit an act of bankruptcy inten tionally or by contrivance, for that it was consi dered by the law to be a crime, and to a certain extent punishable, and even should he commit it, his relief was as far off as ever, inasmuch as if the contrivance were discovered, the commission would be declared invalid. The honest trader to whom this explanation would be made, would naturally turn to his creditors and make an ar rangement with them for paying so many shillings in the pound. Hence it was that so few bank ruptcies took place formerly in proportion to the number of insolvencies. But according to the amended state of the law which prevails now, it is easy for a person owing money to exonerate himself from his creditors by means of the law of bankruptcy, and in this way we have no doubt that most of the cases of insolvency will in future be settled. [THE PUBLIC ,LEntiEn. - 1 By the Hamburg!' Mail, which arrived yester day, we have received intelligence from St. Petersburg!' to the 212 d ult. it mentions no new movement, either political or military ; and this omission will undeceive such of our readers as may have been misled by the para graph we published yesterday from 1 Brus sels Paper. Not a single vestige of the late troubles appear to remain, and the clue, which the Russian Government has obtained to all the ramifications of the conspiracy, will enable it to put it down effectually. What ever discontent may pervade the army generally, will now evaporate in a manner perfectly harm less, the officers who fomented it, having been removed, and others, of tried loyalty, substi tuted. Whilst things are getting into the old train at home, the-foreign relations of the empire present an aspect the most tranquillizing ; and amongst many other proofs of the good understand ing, which it assiduously tries to cultivate with Foreign Powers, we may notice the command of a regiment which has been conferred upon the Archduke Ferdinand of Este, the AMbassa dor sent by Austria to congratulate the Em peror Nicholas. A circumstance like this, trilling as it may appear, is• generally a better index of the feelings of one Court towards an other, than a more ostentatious proceeding ; and as the Austrian Cabinet is the great supporter of the European system, the distinguished manner, in which its representative has been received, is a clear proof of the determination of the Empe ror Nicolas to co-operate zealously with that Ca binet in support of its favourite system. All speculations therefore of an immediate war be tween itussia.and the Porte are of no value but at . the Stock Exchange, and even there they seem to have lost their virtue. [MORN] NO POST.] Previously to the House of Commons resolving into a Committee of Supply last night, Mr. Ma berly called the attention of the House to the present state.of Exchequer Bills and the transac tions of Government with the Bank of England. Ile was ably replied to by Mr. Berries, who, with the utmost neatness, showed that the confusion which the Bon'. Gentleman affected to have dis covered in the statements of the Treasury existed only in his own mind—a fact conclusively demon strable, even by the paper moved for by the Hon. Gentleman himself. He exposed the im propriety and inconsistency of putting resolutions upon the Journals relating to subjects which were so soon to be brought regularly be fore the Douse by the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer : and upon this and other points his reasoning obtained the full approbation of Mr.. Baring, who expressed a hope that no further delay would take place in bringing forward the Annual Financial Statement, which our readers are aware stands definitely fixed for Monday next. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave a most satisfactory statement of the financial proceedings for some years back ; and the sense of the house was so clearly manifested on the occasion, that Mr. Maberly's motion was negatived without a division. in answer to a question by Sir Robert Wilson up on t h e subject of the continued occupation of Spain b y the French troops, Mr. Secretary Canning said that he could not undertake to specify the pre. cise time at whi c h d ie e vacuation of that c oun t ry by the Fren c h A rm y wo uld take place. It h a d certainly happ ene d that arrangements had b een made for it Nice, when some miserable paltry attack again frustrated the object. It was there fore the fault of those who mnde such insensible pal try, unprofitable attacks, that no further steps had been taken; and he was confidently per. evaded, that the French Government were as anxious as the lion. Gentleman could be, to have their troops out of Spain. The !louse then re solved itself into a Committee of Supply, wh en Mr. Berries moved the Miscellaneous Estimates of the Commissariat and Army Extraordinaries. In the course of the desultory conversation which took place, Mr. flume made some of his ac. customed random assertions relative to the Govern ment of the Cape of Good Hope; to which Mr. Wilmot Berton replied. In the Committee upon the Mutiny Bill, Mr. Hume moved that a clause be introduced to put an end to the practice of Flogging Soldiers. After some debate, the Rouse divided on the motion of Mr. flume, which was rejected by a Majority of 99 to 47. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OP CHANCERY, MARCH 10. NAULE v. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT. The Court was occupied for a considerable portion of the day in hearing the arguments of Counsel upon a demurrer to the bill in this case, which related to the assignment of certain terms in the iron mines of Merthyr-Tidvil, on the estate of the Duke of Beaufort. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, be would take home the bill and demurrer, and give judgment on Tuesday morning. IN THE MATTER OF SIR O. P. TURNER. Mr. HoRNE handed up an affidavit sworn by Lady Turner, with a request that his Lordship would read it. LANCASTER V. ATKINSON. The LORD CHANCELLOR specified some alterations which he thought ought to be made in the Vice-Chancellor's decree in this case. rim ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. TIIE MAYOR OF EXETER. The Court was occupied during the remainder of the day with a portion of the arguments in this case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PftiVATE THEATRICALS.—Yesterday, Mr. Fargues, the copperplate-printer, of 47, Berwick-street, Soho, brought Da niel Finnigal, his apprentice, to this Office, for having fre quently absented himself from his employment, and attending private theatricals. On Thursday Finnigal was absent from his duty the greater part of the day, and Mr. Fargues having understood that he was to perform at a private theatre in Den mark-street, St. Giles, that 'night, he gave instructions to Gooke, a constable, to go there and take him into custody. Gooke stated that on entering the house (which is kept by a 31rs..Hersimings), he proceeded to the second floor back room, and found about fifty persons, including the dramatis persona, principally apprentice boys and girls, and the busi ness of the scene going on, the prisoner being on the stage at the time dressed in character, and ranting the part of Boyer in the comedy of Wild Oafs. Gooke went on the stage to act his part, which he did by taking the prisoner into the dressing room (a miserable back attic, which the male and female per formers used indiscriminately for that purpose, as well as for a green room), and after making him dress in his proper part of the Apprentice, lodged him, after some little demur on the part o f the dramatic corps, in the watch-house. The Magistrate dispatched an officer, desiring the immediate attendance of Mrs. Hemmings, the 11Ielpontone of this establish ment—and upon her arrival, dressed in the remains of Isabella's weeds, commenced a theatrical speech in favour of Finnigal. Mr. CONANT stopped her, and she was informed that if she continued this school of iniquity, she and her house would be indicted at the Sessions, and the officers were ordered in the mean time to look after the actors and actresses of Denmark- Street. BOW-STREET. Applicatiom was made at this Office by a Captain of Ma. tines, for a police-officer to be dispatched in pursuit of a private Of Marines, who had absconded from Woolwich with 2501., with which the Captain had entrusted him. The necessary steps were immediately ordered to be taken on the occasion. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.-CHELMSFORD, MARCH 8. James Tucker, the younger, aged 18, was 'indicted, on the Statute 4 6co. IV., c. 54, for sending a letter to James Strang ford Tucker; threatening to accuse him of a shocking crime, with a view and intent to extort money from him, at Layton storie, on the 11th of February last. The prisoner cross-examined the prosecutor, and asked him whether he dare swear, on his solemn oath, that he had not been guilty of the crime imputed. The witness, in the most impres sive manner, declared that it was a base insinuation, and swore that there was not the least foundation for what the prisoner bad said. The prisoner, in reply, solemnly declared that the prose cutor had not spoken truly, and that he had perjured himself. Taunton, a Bow-street officer, proved that he apprehended the prisoner on the 11th of February, and on his person he found the prosecutor's answer to the threatening letter. '1 he prisoner, in his defence, did not reiterate the accusation, but merely said that he had meant to repay the prosecutor the 62, he had borrowed of him. He called no witnesses. ' The Loan CitiEF BARON summed up the evidence, and The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for the term of his natural life. MAUSOLEUM TO lIER GRACE TIIE LATE DUCHESS OF RUTLAND.—On Wednesday sennight the first stone of the mausoleum about to be erected to the memory of the late la mented Duchess of RUTLAND, was laid on -Blackberry-hill, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Vtfax.. The intended edifice, although but a short distance from the Castle, will he entirely hidden from observation by an impenetrable screen of yew and fir trees. At an early period in the morning, senti nels were stationed to intimate to the numscrs who had h o p e d to witness the ceremony, that it was the Duke of Rutland's particular desire no one should approach but those whose at tendance was absolutely necessary. At twelve o'clock, three carriages and four conveyed the illustrious and noble person ages from die Castle to the summit of the hill at Belvoir, where they alighted. A platform of wood had been conStruct ed for the spectators, leading from which was a broad flight of steps to the termination of the excavation, Well was twenty feet in depth. Down this staircase the Duke of York proceed ed, leaning on the arm of the Duke of Rutland. On the stone, which was of great magnitude, were inserted, two plates, bearing inscriptions relative to the purpose for which the build ing was founded; one of these was protected by a glass cover ing, and in this many specimens of the present coinage were de posited. The Duke of Rutland presented a superb gold trowel to his Royal Highness, and Mr. Wyatt a marble tablet, on which mortar had been mixed. After placing sonic on the lower stone, the upper one was lowered, his Royal Highness applied the square, and gave several stakes with the mallet.— Immediately on the conclusion of the ceremony, his Royal Highness shook hands with the Duke of Rutland ; both up. peared deeply affected. There were present on this interesting but mournM occasion, the Dukes of York and ftutland, the Duchess Isabella of Rutland, Lords Chatham, It. Manners, C. Manners, the Ladies Emily, Adeliza, and Catherine Manners, Lady E. Drummond, lion. Mr. end Mrs. Pierrepoint, Colonel Trench, the Rev. C. It. Thoroton, Messrs. Drummond, Wyatt (3), Eaton, Turner. It is supposed the mausoleum will occupy upwards of three years in its completion. DA RING ROBBERY.—Yesterday a Lady, in going along Oxford-street, was hustled by two young pick pockets, who dexterously seized her reticule, which they rifled, and drew from it a purse full of silver with which they made clear off. This may afford a hint to those who carry reticules in the public streets. No. 30, STRAND. THE TOWER, or S UP ERSTITIO S SUB. DuED.

Strt—On reading the " Colonial Slavery" De• bate in your Paper of the Bth inst., it appears to me, that the acknowledgment of Lord CALTHORP " that Slavery is not entirely forbidden by the Christian Religion," (which, however, seems to have been contradicted, whether justly Or not, by the Bishop of BATH and WELLS), in some measure, at least, exculpates the Legislature from blame for resting its Reso• lution to abolish it, upon " expediency," (a term indeed of pretty extensive import when properly considered, and as such, used in one of our prayers), though we my agree with his Lordship in thinking that the Resolution should be passed with some reference to the importance of the obligation which suggested it. In that, however, it may be said to speak for itself, so that the dispute will be chiefly about the words to he made use of. But what shall we say to Lord ELLENBOROUGH, who asserts, that " the Colo nies, in making a large provision for the Clergy and the instruction of slaves, had only consult ed their ewn interests," (happy separation, that his Lordship would make between our inter* ests and our duties !) " for by making the negroes better Christians, they made them better slaves ! Well might Lord LIYER• POOL, in his able and very sufficient, though short answer, say, that if " Lord E.'s speech meant any thing (a doubtful case certainly), " its meaning was most absurd ,and contradictory to its own purpose." Lord CALTHottrE's speech was much more temperate, consistent and judicious. Allow me to add to the above remarks, that think in your ohservations on the ATTORNEY. , GENERAL'S eulogy of the Court of Chancery, you have hardly made sufficient allowance for the distnction he makes bet .seen " broad prin." ciples and details"—llow far he is tight in making this distinction, or how far it will admit of the proper reforms being made in our Courts of Equity, without amalgamating and confound ing them wish those of Common Law, the de , fects and narrow limits of what the former are, I suppose, intended to correct and extend beyond, I must confess myself not sufficiently ac with the subject to determine. But I imagine that in this, as in other cases of like nature, or' rection, and not subversion, is the end that shouldbe had in view. quainted I am. Sir, your's, &C. , CIVIS. March 9, 1826.
